Ullapool is a Fairtrade village on the shores of Loch Broom in the North-West Highlands of Scotland, situated 1 hours drive north of Loch Ness.

An excavation on the west shore of the Dun of Lagaidh found a 1st millennium BC fort and a motte and bailey castle, the area is abundant with cairns, brochs and Pictish relics. Designed and built in 1788, Ullapool was once a fishing village with an important port, the harbour remains the central feature of the village and still used as a fishing port, however, it is also used as a yachting marina and a ferry-port for access to Stornaway and the Outer Hebrides.
